Description

This temperature probe is a thermistor-style sensor that monitors internal refrigerator temperature and helps the control board maintain proper cooling. Replacing a faulty probe restores accurate temperature readings and stable cooling. What it does:

• Senses cabinet or evaporator temperature and sends that signal to the control board
• Helps the fridge maintain set temperatures by enabling proper compressor/defrost cycles
• Common symptoms: inaccurate temperature display, food warming, excessive cooling or long run cycles
• Works as part of the appliance's temperature control and defrost logic

What's included:

• One temperature probe/thermistor sensor

Install notes:

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair
• Handle the sensor and wiring gently; avoid kinking or crushing the capillary/wire
• Route and secure the sensor and connector in the original position to ensure accurate readings
